Wearing women's clothing made me gender dysphoric

So today I was trying on this style with the top and the leather jacket.  Both pieces of clothing were ladies section.   It looked nice on me.  But why did I feel like ughhhh I look such a male.  Or.... could this look could actually be my non-binary androgynous look. ??

That is a pretty androgynous look.

I pay less attention to which side of the store a piece of clothing originated on, and more to how it looks.  I have a couple of flamboyant men's shirts that I am keeping because they actually look quite girly.  And there are lots of clothes in the ladies' section that I won't even consider.  My style is quite girly.  An item of clothing has to have nice colours or a swishy fabric or something feminine to attract my attention.  I don't want to wear anything a male might wear.

If the look you are going for is androgynous, that outfit will do nicely.  But it sounds like it wasn't working for you.

I feel its because of the pants i was wearing.  If I was wearing leggings ill prob see my self differently.

I would agree that you look androgynous in the photo. If I saw you in person I would be looking for additional cues, such as mannerisms, posture, accessories/purse and voice.

Even after zooming in on my phone, I couldn't tell for sure.

Basically I think you could push it one way or the other.

Still- I love the look!

I "think" I know why i'm getting these thoughts,  yeah at time im can try on feminine cloths,  I have never really tried girly girly dresses or clothing yet,  most of my "new" wardrobe is androgenous.   I "think" I found myself a bit more too,  while​ trying on clothing. Girly girly,  I still need to experiment witj that more,  but lately,  I have been seeing myself as "The Tough Chick" if you know what I mean.  That's... kinda my style.  If any of that makes sense.

The "Rocker/Rebel" look

IMO, fit is a big gender indicator.  What you are wearing is very baggy and therefore comes off non-female in my eyes.....not necessarily masculine, just not female.

Thanks for describing it that way.  Made something click for me.

Mikka, your second look does appear feminine to me.
